Let's face it ; The 76er's are two years away from being two years away ! They've made themselves unwatchable . After watching Evan Turner operate in the Big 10 I'm certain he'll make a fine off-guard in the NBA . But is he the right choice for Philly ? In their case , where they are so desperate for front court help I would think Kentucky' Kevin Cousins would be a much better selection . At any rate , I really have no confidence in Ed Stefanski getting it right . At least it's alway's enjoyable to see Dei Lynam and Amy Fadool . I'll be in Nazareth watching some H.S. football and wondering how the Phillies are doing , and missing Emmaus/BECA at Cedar Beach !

I think it's pretty obvious Turner is the right pick for the Sixers. It has been an impressive off season so far firing Eddie Jordan and trading Dalembert. They hired the right coach andHawes and Nocioni. By getting lucky and getting the #2 pick they have put themselves in a position to be much improved. Keep in mind 2 seasons ago the Sixers were a playoff team who finshed the season as one of the hottest teams. Jordan made this team unwatchable last season.
